Dear William,<br>
<br>
thank you very much for your suggestions.<br>
<br>
I tried to check the MICASE corpus but only the two examples (Advising and
Astronomy) are available... The browsing interface does not work at the moment...
I'll try later...<br>
<br>
I guess there are some interesting available dialogues containing decision
making discussion, but it is very hard to find them in the whole corpora,
and in particular there are no description of the context in which these
discussion take place (the agenda, the discussed issue, the domain, the names
of participants, their roles, etc.)<br>
<br>
>From the available excerpts of dialogues in DDC the one I have already mentioned,
which seems to be adequate for my goals is the Corpus of Spoken Professional
American English (CSPAE). I wonder if there are some other similar corpora
available.<br>
<br>
By the way, I forgot to mention the COCONUT project corpus which is not multi-party
(two persons) but contains decision making discussions: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pitt.edu/~coconut/coconut-corpus.html">http://www.pitt.edu/~coconut/coconut-corpus.html</a><br>
<br>
Maybe you would like to include it into your list...<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Vincenzo Pallotta:
Dozens of dialogue corpora, including some meeting corpora, are available
through the DDC (Dialogue Diversity Corpus). Check out the Micase corpus
first.

Subject: [Corpora-List] Looking for Meeting dialogues corpora...
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Dear colleagues,
I am looking for some corpora of (or containing) MEETING DIALOGUES, in
particular:
- spontaneous multi-party spoken dialogues,
- decision making discussion,
- possibly transcribed,
- possibly audio-video.
I already know the existence of: the following corpora, which also
contain meetings dialogues:
the Athelstan corpus of Spoken Professional American English
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.athel.com/cspatg.html">http://www.athel.com/cspatg.html</a>
the Berkeley ICSI corpus of meeting transcription
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/mr/index.html">http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/mr/index.html</a>
the LDC Hong Kong Hansards Parallel text
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2000T50">http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2000T50</a>
the LDC Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2000S85">http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2000S85</a>
I am mainly interested in English, French and Italian corpora.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Bests,
Vincenzo Pallotta
